Rush Line

Rush tickets are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and are sold at full face value. The number of tickets available for sale is extremely unpredictable and varies each performance. Please note:

Rush tickets will be released for sale to the public no more than TWO HOURS prior to a performance (i.e.: 5:00 for a 7:00 show time).

You must be physically present, in the rush ticket line, to claim rush tickets. Circus Juventas staff CAN NOT process requests over the phone.

Seating System

Each seat is 18 inches wide, 5 inches wider than a standard folding chair. Seats are directly adjacent to one another; patrons of size or families with children using lap seats (age 2 and under) should select seats carefully.

The illuminated stairs have railings and only a 4-inch rise, providing easier access to each row.

Since 1995, our annual summer show has been a Twin Cities favorite. Featuring our most advanced, highly committed troupe of circus artists, this large-scale, professionally-produced, theatrically-infused showcase culminates in more than 20 performances, which sell out quickly.

An original, themed show with a story line, the summer show highlights the best of contemporary circus arts, with a strong blending of circus, dance, and theater. CJ works hard to make this a transformative experience from the moment the audience walks into the arena.

COMING SUMMER 2019

Something is amiss in the Black Forest…

The fairy tale world is thrown for a loop when Russian sorceress Baba Yaga and her sisters brew up a devilish plan to tangle the traditional tales and sow the seeds of epic chaos, forcing beloved fairy tale characters to band together and strive to set their stories straight. This summer at Circus Juventas, comedy, magic, and romance abound as we return to the world of international fairy tales for the first time since our 2011 blockbuster hit Grimm. Will Jack conquer his beanstalk? Will the Little Mermaid finally make it to shore? Will Pinocchio achieve real-boy status? Will Sleeping Beauty EVER wake up? And what about that wicked little fellow with the strangest name? Find out this July and August in this magical mix-up for the millennia that’s not to be missed.

Drawing on its Circus Arts school of more than 2,500 children of various ages trained in everything from acrobatics and balance to aerial techniques, juggling and more, “Wonderland” will feature the school’s most advanced 100 performers. Add choreography and theater to the mix, along the magical sets, costumes and music, and the production is guaranteed to enthrall those willing to journey to a strange land of riddles, poems, and wonder, a dream-like place where not everything is as it seems.

MN Artists

Circus Juventas’ summer shows feature a select cast of their most advanced performers and are elaborate spectacles in the tradition of Cirque du Soleil. Circus Juventas productions represent the best of contemporary circus arts, combining evocative music, extraordinary sets and costumes, and stunning theatricality, dance and athletic artistry with a global flair.

The Messenger

…Circus Juventas performances are not quite like the professionals, but they’re pretty close… The featured performers of the show (older kids who have been training for a while) are captivating and the major acts are incredible. The show includes the Walendas’ spectacular seven person tightrope walk as well as flaming whips, balancing acts and unicycle stunts…

Elaina Lenertz

…It’s great to watch these kids maneuver through a web of bungee cords with the dexterity of Spider-Man, or thrill us with spine-tingling drops and rebounds. This year’s extravaganza explores the lighter side of the Wild West with plenty of wholesome saloon girls, high-flying outlaws, and mail-order brides who can handle a bicycle built for 10 with aplomb…
